Galtür

Galtür Review

Slightly higher up the valley is Galtür, the best-known resort in the Paznaun, equally popular as a winter-sports area, a summer resort, and a base for mountain climbing. Although Galtür is a starting point for practiced mountaineers, many of the climbs up the Blue Silvretta are easy and lead to the half-dozen mountain huts belonging to the Alpenverein. Galtür and the Silvretta region inspired Ernest Hemingway's novella Alpine Idyll; the author spent the winter of 1925 here, and the town still remembers him.
